On metrics defined by modules

James Allister Jenkins

Vol. 167 (1995), No. 2, 289–292
Abstract

Jacqueline Ferrand gave a very general definition of a conformal invariant λG(x,y) for a domain G by the use of modules of curve families and showed that, in dimension n, λG(x,y)1∕n is a metric. The question as to whether λG(x,y)1(n1) is itself a metric was raised by Vuorinen and studied by him and Jacqueline Ferrand. In particular he asked whether this held for n = 2 and G the punctured plane. In this paper it is shown that the answer is affirmative for any domain of finite connectivity on the sphere.
